5 Tips to Stay Safe at the Pool
Sunny days mean fun and games around water. Use common sense to keep the little ones safe.
Before you do a cannon ball into the deep end of summer fun, check out these pool safety tips from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Never leave a child unattended at a pool or spa. Always watch your child when s/he is in or near the water.
- Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings to prevent entrapment.
- Check the pool/spa first if a child is missing.
- Make sure you and your child know how to swim.
- Learn CPR.
And, whether at the pool, the beach or camping by a lake, make sure you always keep a phone handy when there are kids and water involved.
